Azure Data Explorer is a fast and highly scalable data exploration service for log and telemetry data. Power BI is a business analytics solution that lets you visualize your data and share the results across your organization.

Azure Data Explorer provides three options for connecting to data in Power BI: use the built-in connector, import a query from Azure Data Explorer, or use a SQL query. This quickstart shows you how to use the built-in connector to get data and visualize it in a Power BI report.

Get data from Azure Data Explorer

First, you connect to the Azure Data Explorer help cluster, then you bring in a subset of the data from the StormEvents table.
The StormEvents sample data set contains weather-related data from the National Centers for Environmental Information.
